Subject: Dulcimer Q's~thanks in advance!

HI! I am a new dulcimer player (newly addicted!), and
I think I'm falling for the Hill Country Backpacker.
I currently have a Walnut Creek that I love, but I
seem to be a very quiet player and am not sure if it's
ME or the instrument or both! How is the volume of
the Hill Country Backpacker? Also, is it a little
less fragile (I hope!) than the one I currently own?
(Or is there even such a thing! LOL!) THANKS SO
MUCH! ~sandi

Greetings Sandi,

The Backpacker is a smaller bodied dulcimer and does not have the fullness nor the volume of a full-size dulcimer. I suspect it's as fragile as most dulcimers are: lightweight and very small...it's meant for portability...lots of fun to own though!

I hope something here helps, Mickey
